New polling reportedly indicates that former President Trump has a slight advantage over Vice President Harris among early voters in battleground states.
This is a promising development for the Republican candidate in the highly competitive presidential campaign.
In critical swing states, 48 percent of voters who indicated that they would cast their ballots early favored Trump, while 47 percent supported Harris, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.
An additional five percent of respondents indicated that they had not yet voted or had chosen an alternative.
Nevertheless, Harris establishes an eight-point advantage among early voters nationwide, with 51% of the vote to Trump’s 43%.
Across the board, 45% of voters indicated that they would be voting early, in contrast to 50% who intend to submit their ballots on Election Day.
As Harris and Trump enter the final stretch of a razor-thin race, with less than a month until Election Day, a small number of battleground states will be crucial in determining the winner of the Oval Office this autumn.
The White House rivals are currently engaged in tight contests in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and other swing states, as evidenced by recent polling. They are conducting rallies and campaign stops in these states.
The latest Harvard CAPS/Harris poll indicates that the race is closely contested, with Harris leading the former president by a mere one point among registered voters in general.
The Harvard/Harris poll, which was conducted from October 11-13, surveyed 3,145 registered voters, including 2,596 likely voters and 898 battleground state voters. The entire sample had a margin of error of 1.8 percentage points.
